About / Quality & Condition Grades

The condition grade sets the expectation.

The application places the line on the ladder. The condition grade sets where, inside that tier, the part falls.

CORE01

Rebuildable unit; sold as a core.

UNTESTED02

Complete take-out; operation unknown.

RUNNING03

Known running take-out.

TESTED04

Verified; documentation available.

Open-ended lines keep the plus.

When a price line stays open-ended, the “+” stays with it and the listing is marked condition dependent. That is the honest signal that the grade, completeness, mileage, or exact specification can move the number inside the tier.

Pricing in plain language

Price is shown as a range when the data supports a range, with the next grade up visible beside it. Availability and interchangeability stay part of the same listing.
